Discover the Art of Pairing: Tamba Wine's Koshikibu Series

A Wine That Embraces Every Bite

In the world of fine dining, some wines steal the spotlight, while others gracefully enhance the experience. Tamba Wine’s Koshikibu Series is crafted with a simple yet profound vision: to create wines that harmonize with food from the first sip to the last bite. These wines don’t demand attention—they earn it by elevating the flavors on your plate.

Since its founding in 1979 in Kyoto’s Tamba region, Tamba Wine has been redefining the wine experience in Japan. By prioritizing balance and versatility over bold declarations of grape varieties and vintages, they offer a wine meant to be felt rather than explained—one that complements the delicate and intricate flavors of Japanese cuisine.

The Essence of Kyoto in Every Bottle

Nestled in the heart of Kyotanba Town, Tamba Wine embraces the natural beauty of its surroundings, allowing the environment to guide the winemaking process. With a deep understanding of Japan’s unique palate, the winery has dedicated itself to crafting wines that seamlessly blend with the umami-rich flavors of Kyoto’s culinary traditions.

Rather than chasing trends, Tamba Wine focuses on perfecting the art of pairing, ensuring that their wines complement everything from home-cooked meals to fine kaiseki cuisine.

Koshikibu Red – A Symphony of Flavor & Balance

Refined Fruit Aromas, Gentle Tannins, and a Perfect Finish

Tamba Koshikibu Red is smooth, well-structured, and beautifully restrained, making it a rare red wine that pairs exceptionally well with Japanese flavors. With soft tannins and a touch of natural sweetness, it complements dishes where soy sauce, dashi, and umami take center stage.

🍷 Perfect Pairings:
✔️ Simply seasoned grilled meats (Salt & Pepper Steak)
✔️ Lean fish like tuna or bonito sashimi
✔️ Japanese simmered dishes (Uruka, Fish Ni-tsuke, or Shiitake Broth-based Soups)
✔️ Game meats like venison, or even refined Kyoto-style Kaiseki

A Label That Tells a Story

The bottle’s minimalist yet elegant design features an illustration of chopsticks and a chopstick rest, symbolizing the wine’s seamless integration into everyday dining. No complex jargon—just a wine made for those who love food.

Inspired by Poetry, Crafted for Perfection

The name Koshikibu pays homage to Lady Koshikibu, a celebrated Heian-period poet known for her deep connection to Kyoto. Just as her poetry stood the test of time, this wine is designed to remain timeless at the dining table, bringing harmony to every meal.
